I tie this version very
slim, with two or three turns of the rib at the rear end of the main
dressing, like a tag.
When wet it is a very heavy fly for its size, which of course makes it
an ideal point fly.
It can be used with confidence from both bank and boat.
It is a simple dressing that gets very good results.
A variation is tied with a pheasant tail shellback and a brownish
hackle, both are equally effective.
